Item:302131010302GENUINE Pre Columbian Jade Axe Bird God Pendant Figurine 6th – 7th Century Mesoamerican Costa Rica Necklace Adorning a beautiful jade avian axe god, this necklace has carved Toucans, squirrels. birds and beautiful stones ( some jade and quartz) All stones and figurines were dug up in the same dig site and are pre columbian. All were also drilled for purposes of being a necklace. when I puchased them from the diggers they come jumbled up on a fishing string as they collected them that way. This beautiful necklace was professionally restrung by a very gifted jeweler to stand the test of time and style. Jade axe gods were power symbols among the wealthy elite. Many of them still project an aura of power. Unfortunately, only a small number of them were accurately recorded. Most axe god pendants were found either accidentally or dug for plunder. Ninety-nine percent of all Costa Rican jade artifacts that were found scientifically are connected to funerary remains. If they could only speak, what tales they would tell. Axe God: 3 inches long The use of jade in Costa Rica comes to an end about 500 - 600 AD, when there was a cultural shift towards gold for use in luxury items. The overall style of this figure is typical of this period. Guaranteed authentic! Money back guaranty! Make a reasonable offer and this gorgeous piece of history can be the talking piece of every dinner party.Material: Jade, Color: Dark Green, Type: Pendant, Age: Pre-1800, Original/Reproduction: Original, Origin: Costa Rica
